A/N- Hardly any reviewing bothers me. I don't mean to sound high on myself, but I have read so many stories with really bad writing structure and they get eighty zillion reviews. I know I have pretty decent writing structure so I don't know why. If it's the idea that doesn't make sense either because I have seen this idea used before, so I don't know. And plus people but the story on alert but don't review. Sorry, I like to bitch about things. So my grandma is totally in the hospital and people have been sugar coating things for me and its pissing me off, so I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to go to bed so I'm writing. I hoping this will make me calm down a little. Review please, it makes me happy. Sorry in the excessive swearing at times, I'm such a stereotypical teenager, I swear a lot. It comes from a swearing family and high school. Sorry about it, I'm just loose with the words. So sorry if it offends anyone, I'm trying to stop it a little in 'public.'
A/N 2- Read this one! So I don't know if I explained this but Chasing Dreams was based on my life, and the characters in it all are real people, different names of course, but they all are inspired by someone was or is in my life. This next chapter is based a recent event in my life. My best friend, Noah, he inspires Nathan, not as much anymore but somewhat. Noah went and pulled something not that long ago, he broke with his long term girlfriend and went back to our old friends from junior high- back to his off and on again girlfriend, Piper. Kady O'Grady is inspired by Piper. So I just told what happened, but other stuff happened too. I have been having inspiration issues lately so I'm going back to pulling from my life- which is somewhat boring.
Couples- The couples are going to be somewhat random at time. I'm not afraid to break them up. Nathan is going to be the most random. But at the end of the day my heart always leans towards the conventional couples- Brucas, Naley, and Jeyton. I'm definitely thinking about Pathan fling. It's making its way into my head. Not really a relationship, more of a fling, random and meaningless fling. I don't know for sure anything- read my profile- you'll find out what won't happen. That's clear. There is going to be drama and its going to stem from the romances in the story. Girl hate, as my mom says, mostly.
As It Comes
Chapter Three
What?
It had been a few days since the party at the Harper's house and everyone was at school. Lunch time, the time where you see the cliques within the school in the most obvious form. During basketball season, Lucas and Nathan ditched their typical group and sat with their basketball friends, and Brooke and Peyton would sit with their cheerleading friends, and Haley would eat with her other friends. Sometimes Haley and Peyton would eat together, on those days when Peyton wasn't up for being perky cheerleader. Since it was not basketball season, the group of five friends sat together at the table they had claimed. Since the night at the party no one had talked to their old friends and everything was back to normal. The five was sitting at the wooden table, minding their own business, small chatter heard throughout the table while they ate.
"Nate!" called Tim, as he approached the table. Tim, as usual, was acting like he was all that and held his head high.
"Tim?" Nathan asked hesitantly, by the look on Tim's face, Tim knew something, and that was never good.
"Did I see you with that chick from the Harper twin's party, last night in your car?" Tim asked, knowingly.
"Um," Nathan stammered. He looked around the table at all of the faces of his friends. They all said the same thing, what? "Yeah, Kady and I have been hanging."
"Nice," Tim said raising his hand for a high five, "she is definitely hot."
"She sure is," Nathan said cockily, putting on his basketball ass persona, giving Tim a high five.
"Keep me updated," Tim said leaving.
"What?" all three girls asked, they all were confused. Kady was a girl they used to know, not someone you see once in three years and all of the sudden begin hanging out again.
"Nate, you don't even know her anymore," Peyton said.
"Doesn't mean I can't get to know her again," Nathan retorted. That night at the party, Kady and he connected somehow. They just had, and he wanted to get to know her again, They had all promised to be friends to the end and they hadn't kept that promise but it did not mean they all couldn't be friends again.
"Here's a question, what about Shay?" Haley said.
"We broke up," Nathan explained. They had broken up the night of the party; he called and left a message on her voicemail- the classiest of ways to break up with a girl.
"Have you told us anything in the last few days?" Brooke asked, she was completely flabbergasted, they always bragged of their closeness and here Nathan was breaking up with his girlfriends and getting new ones.
"You know now," Nathan said coyly.
"Not the point," Brooke shot back.
"Well, for one thing I thought you all would react like I'm crazy, which you have proven true," Nathan explained, "and I always break up with my girlfriends, nothing new there."
"Okay, so maybe you're right," Peyton conceded, "but supposed best friends, tell each other these things. Are you and Kady dating?"
"No we aren't, we are just hanging," Nathan explained.
"Sure," Brooke laughed rolling her eyes, "we'll see."
"So let's change the subject!" Peyton said in a fake perky voice.
"Okay," Haley replied in an equally perky voice. The subject smoothly changed to being about the disgusting food they were all eating. Today's special was meatloaf, and guess what; it was as disgusting as it sounded. The meat was grey and the sauce looked like liquid cement. The group picked at their lunch until the bell rang to go to class, they all got up throwing out the majority of their lunches and went to class. The rest of the day went by fast, went from class to class, and the day was soon over. Tonight Nathan again had made plans with Kady and he was meeting her at Karen's Café at six o'clock. Six rolled around quickly, Nathan was on time and Kady was of course late. After waiting ten minutes, Nathan finally called Kady and she assured him that she was on the way. She finally arrived at quarter after six. She walked in the door, and Nathan immediately led her back out, into his car and they left. At the same time, Peyton and Brooke approached the café in Brooke's car.
"Peyt," Brooke whispered, elbowing her friend in the ribs.
"Ouch," exclaimed Peyton, rubbing the spot where Brooke's elbow had been moments ago, "what the hell was that for?"
"Look," said Brooke pointing out the window at Nathan's car driving away with a familiar red head in the front seat.
"Oh," Peyton said looking at Kady and Nathan, "why are you whispering?"
"I don't know, I'm gossiping and its habit," Brooke explained.
"Makes sense," Peyton said nodding her head.
"Let's follow them," Brooke said mischievously.
"No," argued Peyton.
"Too bad, I'm driving isn't it," Brooke said hitting the gas pedal, taking off following the black SUV, that Nathan drove.
"You're evil, seriously," Peyton said, shaking her head.
"He's not telling us anything, so we might as well find out for ourselves," reasoned Brooke.
"What about Haley," Peyton said, remembering that they were supposed to meet their friend at the café.
"Cell phones," Brooke said, shaking her phone.
"What should I tell her?" asked Peyton, removing her own cell phone from her pocket of her black denim jacket.
"Tell her to catch up to us," Brooke told her friend.
"Okay then, Crazy Brooke," Peyton said, hitting the number two in her speed dial. Haley picked up right away and Peyton explained the situation, the conversation was filled with lots of, I know she's crazy, that's Brooke for you, and mostly she's evil. Peyton flipped her phone shut and told Brooke that Haley was on her way.
"Now call Luke," demanded Brooke. Luke needed to know about their mission, he maybe wanted to join in on the fun.
"Brooke," protested Peyton.
"Do it," Brooke interrupted.
"Done," Peyton said, opening her phone. She called Luke and explained the insane thoughts of his girlfriend. "He's going to call us in a bit and catch up with us," Peyton explained after hanging up on Lucas.
"Okay," Brooke said pulling into the mall parking lot that Nathan had just entered. Haley's blue car followed her into the parking space next to her. The three linked arms, and began to follow Nathan and Kady as discreetly as possible, ducking behind corners and into other stores.
"Does it feel like we are being followed," Kady said, stopping and looking behind. Brooke, Peyton, and Haley jumped into the electronics store near by.
"No," Nathan said simply, wrapping his arm around her waist and pushing her forward. He looked over his shoulder just to make sure.
"Too close," Haley said in a panicked tone. This mission was high risk, Nathan would be so mad if he found out they were following him on his outing with Kady. For some reason he was being super private about his relationship or lack of relationship with Kady. Haley having some morals and was a good doer, felt extreme guilt following her friend around the mall.
"The danger makes it fun," Brooke whispered in her best spy voice. Now this was fun. Brooke lived for excitement, and what was more exciting than following her best friend around the mall. Actually lots of things were more exciting, but in Tree Hill this was pretty good for a Wednesday night. Brooke took off running after Kady and Nathan who had entered the largest department store in the mall.
"Oh my god," mumbled Haley as she took off after Brooke. Peyton also followed. They followed Kady and Nathan around the mall. The mission turned out quite boring. Nathan and Kady provided no excitement; they just wandered around from store to store talking. The night was getting more boring by the minute, and then Brooke's cell finally rang. Lucas hadn't called her all night, and she thought he might be ignoring her.
Kady and Nathan were sitting in the food court when Nathan heard a distinctive sound, Brooke's ringing phone. Nathan began looking around the room and there they were, Haley, Peyton, and Brooke sitting at a table only a few feet away.
"Hey ladies," Nathan yelled, "imagine meeting you here." Peyton's head shot up at the sound of Nathan's voice. She elbowed Haley, who then elbowed Brooke who was whining to Lucas on the phone about ditching her.
"We have been seen," Peyton sighed.
"Huh," exclaimed Brooke, looking up seeing Kady and Nathan staring in their direction. Both waved when Brooke looked at them. She quickly explained to Lucas that they had been caught and she had to go. Brooke got up from the table graciously and made her way towards Kady and Nathan's table. "Hey," Brooke said.
"Hi girls," Nathan said coyly, "what brings you to the mall on this night, when you distinctly told everyone at lunch you were going to Peyton's tonight?"
"Well," Brooke began, "we were on our way to the café and then this black SUV passed us, with this super hot guy in it and Peyton and I just had to follow it, so Peyton called Haley and we followed this mystery guy around all night and we got bored by his boring actions so we decided to eat."
"Is that so," Nathan laughed.
"Sure is," Peyton responded. They all were such fools, they followed their best friend around all night and now they were joking. Most people find it slightly creepy if someone followed them even if you know them, but not this group of friends, all they could do is laugh.
"Nice," Nathan said. He loved those girls, he was admittedly an ass to girls, but not these girls, and they were his best friends. He would protect them from anyone. He could never date anyone of them they were like his sisters, well there was that Haley thing but that was forever ago. They were B-F-F's- best friends forever.
"So are you guys going out?" Peyton asked bluntly. They hadn't gotten a straight answer from Nathan but maybe Kady would help them out.
"We are seeing each other," Kady responded.
"Meaning," questioned Peyton.
"We are going out," Nathan butted in, finally giving them an answer.
"Thank you," Peyton said.
"Well, we better header," Brooke said suddenly, "its kind of late."
"Brooke, its eight," Nathan said, cocking his eyebrow. Brooke wasn't one for early nights.
"We have Haley," Brooke explained, giving her friend a pat on the shoulder, "she is a nerd."
"Thanks," Haley laughed.
"Okay, so we are out," Brooke said, getting up.
"Tomorrow," Nathan said simply giving his friends a wave.
"Yeah," Peyton replied, "see you around Kady."
"Yeah, we'll see each other," Kady said. All of the friends gave quick good-byes and the girls took off in the direction of the parking lot and Nathan and Kady soon followed.
A/N 3- So there is chapter three! YAY! The couples are going mix up here and there. I was thinking about Pathan, and people obviously want it, so you will get it. The sister then goes out when a guy decides he wants you. I thought things work differently but since Noah broke up with his girlfriend, he has gone after Tash and me, so its messed. Even more messed because Tash is considering going out with him. To me it's a perfect way to ruin their friendship so we'll see. Review!
